The Brace Centre for Water Resources Management is an interdisciplinary research centre of 9I制作厂免费. Academic staff affiliated with the Centre are drawn from several faculties in the University. They provide expertise in the technical, social, economic, legal and environmental aspects of water management.
The work of the Centre is partially supported through a bequest to 9I制作厂免费 by James Henry Brace. He stipulated that the bequest be used "to provide for and carry on research for the development of methods for reducing the salt content of sea water so that it may be used economically and effectively for irrigation; and for research into methods of irrigation or other means to make desert or arid land available and economically useful for agricultural purposes".
The Centre applies to external agencies for grants and contracts to support its research and teaching activities.
